Hi guys new to the forum. Thought I'd share the shed. Came across this through word of mouth. Had been sat sinse 2009 down in swanage. Dragged it back to reading £200 later. It's on 95k I'm the second owner from new. It has optional extra Recaros from factory, genuine tin worm which I've nearly finished. Just slowly doing bit by bit

Won't be to everyone's taste but hey ho, getting there with it. Only had it a few months

[mrh]

The dreaded mess I'm tackling



I'll get some more uploaded

Wow that's a nice looking car, great work fella!

[mrh]

Had a massive hole in the top of the in we arch I've had to weld up. More to come

[mrh]

Start them young!

Thanks mercdan, still a serious amount of work to be done

I really like that, always had a soft spot for E30s and D90s, so a great combination in my book

Looks like a great project! Will be keeping an eye on this one

Thanks si, not sure the wheels are staying yet or not, they just happened and needed wheels as the steelies had seriously perished tyres

Cheers, plenty of work still to be done. Still deciding what to do with the engine

What have you done to the headlights. They look amazing

Thanks, bit of an air cooled vw touch, they're just half chrome caps I got from the states but make the headlights look rather shiny from a distance and somehow don't affect the beam pattern

Looking really good, even if you do have a lot of work to do, low miles and nice interior - great project, I'll keep my eye on this

Mainly paint, engine, brakes, 5 stud conversion, suspension and a trip to the trimmers to get the drivers seat re-stitched. Thanks for the good comments guys. The purists don't exactly like it to be kind

[GT4ME]

Very clean.

Mintest set of recaro high backs I have seen! Great find

Looks good on the rims too, shame the 2.0 lump is such a slug, still easily remedied!

One of my first girlfriends Mums had a gold one of these. I always liked these Bimmers. Its stood the test of time and you've breathed some new spirit into it. Like it, looks class.
